We had an amazing trip. Our skipper made our trip 10 times better!
In general, the experience was outstanding. Thank you very much to Viola and our skipper Leonidas, who was super kind. We started our trip at 10 am in direction of Egina Island, the way was super smooth and sunny. We arrived to the island after 3 hours with no stops in between. We had the lunch in a super good restaurant recommended by Leonidas next to the beach. After that, we took the yacht again and went to a small island where we were literally alone. The yacht stopped around 100m from the island. That place was amazing, the water was super clear to practice snorkel and the depth was around 6m. We swam until the island, walked a bit around, practised padel and many more. We had an incredible moment there. After 2 hours, we started the way back to Athens and arrived at night. 100% recommended! Such an amazing experience :)
Very good holidays on this Bavaria which is no longer very young but perfectly fulfills its mission. Everything works. A very good team on land.
OMG what an experience!!!! Viola was super clear and fast to communicate prior to the trip. We are a family that had never travelled by boat before, so the experience was very new to us. The trip by boat is basically like camping but on the sea. We were 5 people + the skipper and it was just enough space for everyone. Fragkos, our skipper, made the experience so much better. We always felt safe with him. He took us to great swimming spots and to very nice towns. The boat on arrival was very clean and had all the basics. Cabins get very warm and it doesn't have Aircon. We had an amazing time and we will definitely be coming back, perhaps with a bigger boat haha.
We had a great time, would definitely do it again! Viola always responded promptly and answered all our questions! The boat and its captain were very nice, they made us feel comfortable and have a great day!
It was a verry Nice experience. The boat is in verry good condition. We have a verry Nice day we have wind and i can navigate with wind without motor . The Owner is a verry Nice lady. I wish her succes in the future.
We had a wonderful time on board. Thanks for a great day. We will definitely do it again.
The staff is professional, trained and ready to satisfy every wish. Kind, friendly. Viola was extremely helpful, as were the skipper and the driver who accompanied us to the airport. Very positive experience
The boat was replaced last minute to a different, older boat. However the new boat had great staff and took us on a very fun tour and made the trip a lot of fun.
Viola is a very communicative host and offered all her best for providing the best possible experience of charter. We had all support necessary for issues such as marine police interaction, technical consulting and journey plan. Unfortunately, the boat that we have rented experienced technical issues associated with the engine, however I believe it is not due to Viola but due to the previous maintenance. Overall for sure an excellent experience and definitely to repeat.
Had a really great day with the bavaria 42. People are nice and everything is in consultation!
Very courteous, Insightful, flexible boat owner & skipper.
We spent a very nice day with friends (group of 8 people) on this sailboat. The boat was large, very comfortable and well equipped. We particularly appreciated the friendliness and responsiveness of Viola throughout the reservation, as well as that of the team on site. We sailed to the island of Aegina, then made a second stop on a cove to swim. Radoy, our skipper was very friendly and attentive to our requests. We recommend with your eyes closed!
Everything was very nice!
Wonderful ! And so nice people !!
We had a very warm and complete welcome by Viola! Very nice, clean and big towels and clean beds. Coffee and fresh water already on the boat with the fridge running. The marina has no supermarket so provisions need to be planned.
We had a wonderful boat trip and went for lunch to Aegina and were anchoring at some islands to have a swim on the way back! The value for money was really good, the communication fast and easy. Unfortunately, the boat had difficulties to start when anchoring near some small islands, which was a bit stressful since some needed to catch a flight, but after half an hour the skipper could repair the problem with some help of us and we could continue our boat trip! Overall recommendable!
The experience was very good. We really enjoyed all trip. The skipper is kind and help us a lot.
A fabulous time sailing to Aegina for lunch and then a little swimming at Moni Eginas Beach! We finished up with a marvelous sunset as we returned to Athens. Viola was great to deal with.
Value for money, excellent owners.
We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon sailing with Viola and Costas. Both were super friendly and very competent sailors. It was my friend’s 50th birthday and she loved it! Highly recommended!
My family and I were really fascinated from the beginning to the end of the tour, Viola and her crew have the magic that is required to know these paradiasical destinations. Recommended 100%.
We had a beautiful day cruise with Violas boat and the skipper. Everything was as expected and I can highly recommend the trip!
We had a wonderful week sailing from Athens to the southern Peloponnese. Viola, the owner, established a relationship of trust and the boat was comfortable. I recommend.
Viola was very kind and extremely responsive. The boat was well-equipped with little touches for guests. I wholeheartedly recommend it; you will have a great vacation on this top-notch sailboat!
We were super happy with the boat and the captain/staff. Viola was also super friendly and available for all questions. Definetely recommendable if your goal is to go for swimming and having a good time on the boat.
Amazing experience, Crew, and boat facilities. We did a day trip close to Athens and Egina Island. Congrats to Viola, Bavaria 42 and Xaris, our captain !!!
Captain Charris was excellent!! We enjoyed the trip so much, and he accommodated all our needs for finding the perfect itinerary!
We had a beautiful experience with two kids on a well maintained boat. Great service before departure and after arrival made the whole journey very easy. We were lucky to be supported by a wonderful caring skipper team who helped us to create a memorable trip. Big Thank you to Viola and our skippers, George and Manu !
This was such a great day! Viola was very responsive when making the reservation and super friendly and helpful. The skipper Thalanasis and his first mate Giorgos were amazing: Knowledgeable, kind and super attentive they were such a great team to take us around the Saronic gulf. Unfortunately there was no wind on the day we went out so it was very slow going as the boat doesn’t move swiftly without it, so we were only able to visit Aegina and surroundings The boat itself was really comfortable though, and the skipper equipped it with all sorts of drinks and snacks and snorkeling equipment and even a couple of swim tubes! I can not say enough good things about them!! I Highly recommend them and would definitely use again if the occasion arises.
Great boat and great service. Took us around Athens.
There are no words to describe the unique experience we had! We booked Bavaria sailing for my husband's birthday and had a great day with our family. The staff were very kind, very experienced and very willing to share their sailing knowledge with us. They immediately made us feel very comfortable and feel completely safe. Bavaria was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, fully equipped and renovated. Beautiful both inside and out. Congratulations to all and many thanks for everything. We had a great time. We will definitely do it again! :)
Never got on the boat I booked for 11 people then the day before was told I could only bring 9 people 2 of my family members were going to stay behind so I sent the names of 9 people and was told only 8 people could go at this point this was not going to work for my family and me worst experience
Clean and well-maintained boat, excellent communication with the owner, warm and family welcome.
Because of the wind, they suggested that we not go to Aegina and go to the beaches of the Athenian Riviera. It was already windy, but we started. we made two stops for diving. On the way back, however, there was too much wind and the engine broke down on the way! How long did the waves take us where it was blowing because it had a breakdown!! Mr. Angelos did everything to repair it, but how much should he do to an already damaged boat?! Unacceptable to rent boats that are already damaged!!! Supposedly a diver did an inspection before we left!!! we were very scared as there was no inspection of the boat! We had to turn back early and went down badly! Our walk turned into a bad experience in a city! I will definitely not trust this owner's boats again!!!!!
A very enjoyable four days spent in the Saronic Islands with our family of five. Thank you Viola for being so communicative on the messages and for explaining everything so clearly to us, as it was our first time to charter a boat. Best wishes to you and our patient skipper! :)
Very good communication and welcome. The boat will benefit a lot from a service in terms of electricity efficiency (batteries etc) and more important from plumbing maintenance for making sure water supplies are secured and available and that toilets are clean and free of annoying smells. Good maintenance of equipment should also include items like the sea board, dingie, passerelle etc ... all the above listed had issues which can be easily fixed though
